Carmelo Anthony’s poor shooting percentage to begin the season may be worrisome to some, but coach Derek Fisher said he has been pleased with his star forward’s start.

Particularly his understanding that with better pieces around him, he doesn’t have to attempt to score 30 points every night.

“I think Carmelo’s been doing a good job in that area, trying to find the balance between being himself and being a scorer and being aggressive, and trying to fit into the team dynamic,” Fisher said Thursday afternoon on WFAN. “Then also coming off surgery, there’s a lot he’s balanced out there, but he’s doing a good job overall.

“I think he’s reforming his game fine. As we grow together … we’ll improve and I think you’ll start to see Carmelo be more efficient, at least percentage-wise, as we move forward.”

Anthony is taking a full shot less per game than last season (19.2 compared with 20.2), while averaging 3.6 assists and 7.8 rebounds, both up from the numbers he posted in the 40 games he played in last season.

Still, Anthony obviously would like to improve on his shooting percentage, which is at a dismal 36 percent and just 32 percent from 3-point range.

As for the effects of his jump shot coming off knee surgery, Anthony said: “I didn’t know what to expect. It’s a first-time experience and [I’m] dealing with it day by day.’’

The Knicks will see the Bucks for the second time in just over two weeks Friday at the Garden, but it will be a very different team than the one they blew out in the opener by 25 points in Milwaukee.

The Bucks will have their starting forward tandem of Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo, both of whom missed the opener. After losing their first three games, the Bucks have won two straight, over the 76ers and Nets. Parker returned in Milwaukee’s last game after missing most of his rookie season with a torn ACL, while Antetokounmpo — also known as “The Greek Freak” — missed the Knicks game because of a suspension dating to last year.

Though the Knicks have played well in their past two games, losing by a combined 20 points to title contenders San Antonio and Cleveland, Anthony said he doesn’t want anyone to take bows for merely playing elite teams tough.

“I don’t want to make that [a] consistent thing of learning from losses,” he said. “I don’t think that will be the case. [It’s] still early, five games into the season, but [there are] things we have to get better at.’’
